Excellent easy dish - have been making it since it first ran in The Times. It really is a complete meal by itself, but I like to also have it over arugula or mixed greens. It is very adaptable. Can use different herbs like basil or Italian parsley; can add lemon juice. I cut down on the onion, add a little more sun dried tomato. Also even though the recipe does not call for salt, I find it needs a bit added at the end.
